WASTE MINIMIZATION

Minimizing the waste that we generate and dispose of is important to us. Waste minimization will help us conserve natural resources; reduce emissions and impacts on landscapes and habitats; and lower costs. We are continually evaluating opportunities to minimize the generation of waste in our business.

REUSE AND RECYCLING

In addition to our focus on responsible packaging, we are committed to reusing and recycling whenever possible. We have several initiatives in place to support this commitment:

In 2013, we launched a polybag recycling program for our Manhattan stores and expect to expand this effort in 2014.

We aim to recycle in stores wherever services are available. At the majority of our stores, the landlord is responsible for waste management and recycling. Our aim is to partner with our landlords and other retailers to increase the recycling options for retail stores, thereby decreasing waste. To this end, we are active members in the partnership between the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA), the Professional Retail Store Maintenance Association (PRSM) and the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) to promote energy, waste and cost reduction in our leased retail spaces. The partnership brings retail brands and developers together to identify shared challenges, promote leading practices and spur energy and waste savings in situations of mutual opportunity.
